  • Publication number: 20240371933
    Abstract: Various embodiments include stacked transistors and methods of forming stacked transistors. In an embodiment, a device includes: a first nanostructure; a second nanostructure above the first nanostructure; a first gate structure extending along a top surface and a bottom surface of the first nanostructure; and a second gate structure extending along a top surface and a bottom surface of the second nanostructure. The first gate structure is disposed at a first side of the first nanostructure and a first side of the second nanostructure. The second gate structure is disposed at a second side of the first nanostructure and a second side of the second nanostructure. The second side of the first nanostructure is opposite the first side of the first nanostructure. The second side of the second nanostructure opposite the first side of the second nanostructure.

  • Publication number: 20240371932
    Abstract: An integrated circuit structure includes a substrate, a bottom nanostructure transistor, and a top nanostructure transistor. The bottom nanostructure transistor is over the substrate and includes a first channel layer, a first gate structure, and first source/drain epitaxial structures. The first gate structure wraps around the first channel layer. The first source/drain epitaxial structures are on opposite sides of the first channel layer. The top nanostructure transistor is over the bottom nanostructure transistor and includes a second channel layer, a second gate structure, and second source/drain epitaxial structures. The second channel layer is over the first channel layer. The second gate structure wraps around the second channel layer. A bottom surface of the second gate structure is substantially coplanar with a bottom surface of the first gate structure. The second source/drain epitaxial structures are on opposite sides of the second channel layer.

  • Publication number: 20240363624
    Abstract: A device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first transistor, a second transistor over the first transistor and a first isolation structure. The first transistor is on the semiconductor substrate. The first transistor comprises a first channel, a first source and a first drain. The first source and the first drain are on opposite sides of the first channel. The second transistor comprises a second channel, a second source and a second drain. The second source and the second drain are on opposite sides of the second channel. The first transistor is connected in series with the second transistor. The first isolation structure is vertically between the first drain and the second source.

  • Publication number: 20180010191
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an improved method for HER2 gene test by using quantitative real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique. Our invention streamlines test process, and incorporates quality control for each major step, including sample, reagent, operation, and data report. We eliminate the need for reference genes which is hard to standardize in HER2 PCR test. We develop a cutoff reference point by using the statistical mean of tumor tissue population, and adopt a simplified scoring scheme for evaluation of HER2 status. Our invention produces consistent result across machines and labs, and has proven to be clinically successful in HER2 test.
